Chapter 87 - The Waiting


CHAPTER 87


Dariel held his wife's hand even tighter, and Fredella clasped Dariel's. Both of their hearts pumped blood faster, there was something inside there that was the center of attention of the three people in the examination room.


“Say doctor what is it?” Dariel asked impatiently, he did not understand what was on the big screen right in front of him.


“Dariel?” Fredella was just as anxious, her esophagus was dry and it was hard to swallow.


“Congratulations Mr and Madam, both are healthy and their weight corresponds to your current gestational age.” The doctor gave a little explanation, and right in the originally empty black bag there was something different in it, two small creatures moving slowly with each other.


“Both?” Dariel and Fredella asked at the same time.


“Yes they are identical twins, living in the same pocket. Please take care of the state of the mother, because the Madam has a weak condition.” The doctor said he was happy and helped Fredella get out of bed. Get pregnant until you sit down.


“Old supplements continue, do not miss. In addition to the consumption of foods with high fiber and protein, your two babies are in desperate need of nutrition. Calcium is equally important.” The doctor wrote on a small note given to Dariel and Fredella.


Both are happy because of what is expected, expected soon to be born into the world. This second also Dariel proposed a longer leave of absence, at least until the wife's gestational age had passed from twenty weeks.


“Thank you, thank you dear. We'll take care of them both, you'll be a mother.” Dariel shed tears, hugged his wife, summed up Fredella's face peeping many times as a sign of gratitude.

Different from before, today the welcome at the Matthew Family home is extraordinary, some decorations are on display, starting from the main door, until the staircase railing also gets a beautiful touch.


Dariel gave happy news to Mama Nayla and her in-laws, of course all enthusiastic, happy because the sadness had passed.


After thirty minutes just sitting in the car, now Fredella is sitting on the sofa, straightening her legs and seeing a very entertaining family member. Congratulations are always welcome, either in person or through short messages.


“Next year our family members increase by one, and grandma is very happy. May I still be given health, to see the first great-grandson.” Granny exclaimed, at an age that is no longer young still looks healthy and vibrant.


“Sorry not one but two.” Dariel patted Grandma on the shoulder and said another surprise, that in a few months two babies would be crying at Matthew's residence.


“Really?” other family members.


“Congratulations”


“I did not expect to have two great-grandchildren at once, you are indeed the greatest Dariel.” Proud Grandma embraces her daughter-in-law's granddaughter.


“Of course Grandma, I try morning, afternoon, night.” Dariel's feet immediately got a piece of pie thrown from his wife's hand. This large man was proud, it turned out that his twin genes were very strong.


But in Dariel's heart he was always on guard, only he did not show all the anxiety he was thinking. Passing through some dark and painful events, Dariel will take care of the health of his wife and children. Even making sure both of them were born safe, nothing lessened.


“Children daughter-in-law? What the hell are you thinking? Get me juice there.” Show Grandma, break Dariel's daydream.


“Ma?” call Dariel, approach Mama Nayla who faithfully accompanied her daughter-in-law and pay attention to Fredella.


“Yes. What was? What are you worried about? Mama thinks it is wiser if we live this life without excessive fear, be vigilant may but do not let you get dissolved in all fear.”


“Mama know what I think?” Dariel looked at his mother.


“Yes sure, mama sure both of mama's grandchildren are healthy, and safe until born into the world. You are sitting here with your wife, mama should contact papa.”


The fear in Dariel was not without reason because he had witnessed the most painful thing his family had experienced.


Losing something and never coming back, when all efforts have been made. But according to doctors the disorder is a rare thing from many identical twin pregnancies.


“Daddy hope you two stay together until birth and adulthood later.” Dariel commented with a smile as he touched Fredella's slightly popping stomach.


“You why cry?” Ask Fredella.


“It's happy tears, doesn't mean I'm sad right? Don't think things through, it's not good for our children's health.”

Without feeling the time getting faster, Fredella's stomach gets bigger and her two children move agile in there, they never allow her mother to rest.


Dariel always routinely conducts even the most fussy checks, many questions written before he met the doctor, all for the good of Fredella. Until his wife developed allergies, Dariel panicked and took her to the hospital.


Apparently, pregnant women have allergies to foods that contain nuts. As Dariel recalled, none of his family had any type of allergy.


Prospective father who is very alert to take care of his children but unfortunately it has been one week Dariel returned home to Jakarta. Some jobs could not be represented, contracts of cooperation and some investments in various companies needed his attention, because Papa Ray could not be present in place of his son, who was not able to attend, because of his declining health due to fatigue again led the Hotel and Cafe.


“You miss Daddy? All right, let's disturb Daddy. But before you have to contact Indra Assistant, do not let Daddy is meeting.” Fredella wanted to know her husband's schedule, because she didn't want to interfere with Dariel's work.


In early pregnancy her attitude was very spoiled, often distressing to Dariel at midnight, but as the pregnancy got older, Fredella slowly did not depend on her husband.


Although difficult, she tried because Dariel was not always by her side, and Fredella was forced to understand the demands and burdens of her husband's work were very heavy.


“Halo dear and children Daddy.” Say hello to Dariel via video call.


Finally after waiting from the morning, Fredella could see her husband's face filling the phone screen. He was sad and sulky because Dariel was too busy, but not for long, it took an hour to get rid of the anger in the chest. Enough sleep can release all the upset in the heart of pregnant women who are very sensitive.
